The solution is very simple, but we must agree first that the new installation should be as easy as possible while the security concern still the best :)
Here: 1. On the installation screen say: "You must enter a db username with creating DB rights, otherwise please create the DB first" 2. Step #2: Drupal installation checks if the DB is exists, if not then create the DB.
Simple, right?
This is not new techno, I see many CMSs have feature to create DB.
I suppose, but I wonder if it's worth it. From my admittedly limited experience, people on shared hosting wouldn't be able to use it because of the need to create databases through cPanel or equivalent. People not on shared hosting probably know enough to not need Drupal to make the DB. So who'd use it? Would be a good survey question, I guess. Michelle
